Prime Minister Mark Carney announced they will assist Jasper in rebuilding after last summer’s wildfire.
They will be providing the community with a $187 million investment to repair and rebuild critical infrastructure such as roads, campgrounds, trails, permanent staff housing, and interim housing options for staff and residents during the rebuild.
“During last summer’s devasting Jasper wildfire, Canadians came together to protect and support this incredible town. Our new investment will help restore Canada’s crown jewel and help the people of Jasper rebuild their park, their economy, and their lives.” said Carney.
The funding, provided to Parks Canada over two years, will help accelerate rebuilding during construction season beginning in May.
